Dr. Armando Marino is a Senior Lecturer in Earth Observation at the University of Stirling’s Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences since 2018. He holds an MSc in Telecommunication Engineering (2006, Universita’ di Napoli) and a PhD in Polarimetric SAR Interferometry (2011, University of Edinburgh). His research focuses on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for environmental monitoring, including maritime pollution, forest degradation, agricultural productivity, and coastal erosion.
- Education:
- MSc Telecommunication Engineering, Universita’ di Napoli ‘Federico II’ (2006)
- PhD in Remote Sensing, University of Edinburgh (2011)
Marino develops machine learning algorithms for SAR data analysis and conducts fieldwork with custom-built radar systems. He collaborates with institutions like ESA, JAXA, and NASA, leading projects such as PlasticSurf (microplastic detection) and MoLaDy (ALOS-4 land monitoring). His work integrates optical and SAR satellite data for flood mapping and vegetation analysis.
He has received accolades including the RSPSoc Best PhD Thesis (2011) and University of Stirling’s Outstanding Collaborator award (2022). Current projects involve £180,000+ in funding for radar-based environmental solutions.
- Scientific Awards:
- Best PhD Thesis 2011 (RSPSoc)
- Outstanding PhD Thesis (Springer Verlag)
- Outstanding Collaborator 2022 (University of Stirling)
Marino’s methodologies combine SAR polarimetry, computer vision, and environmental field measurements. He actively mentors interdisciplinary teams and contributes to global initiatives on climate hazard mitigation.
